The daughter if a prophet and the child slave of Spanish adventurer Hernan Cortes, the life of the Aztec princess Malinali
is one of the most enduring legends of Mexico. Her role in history divides opinion even today. Reviled by some as a traitor
responsible for the destruction of the Indians, worshiped by others as a heroine and symbolic mother of the nation, hers is
the most extraordinary story in the history of the Americas. The legendary Aztec civilization is here brought to life in blazing
colour, as the author traces the story of the enigmatic Malinali who held for a moment the future of an entire country in
her hands. Contradictory, sensuous and fiercely intelligent, Malinali became the key to Cortes conquest of Mexico. It is a
story of impossible odds, unimaginable cruelty, extraordinary courage and craven betrayal. Who were the heroes and who the
villains? Today the Aztecs are a distant memory. But Malinali's name lives on. This book spent four months on the best seller
lists in Mexico, re-igniting debate yet again about the true heritage of a people and the very nature of western colonisation
of the natural world

"A sweeping tale of courage, honor, and betrayal in the army of Alexander the Great Babylon, 323 BC. Alexander the Great has
survived every effort to kill him. Restless, ruthless, he wonders which world to conquer next. He has a powerful new weapon--the
war elephants he brought back from India. He also has a conquest in mind--the fabulous empire of Carthage. As Alexander plots,
a war elephant named Colossus violently lashes out against the soldiers who are tormenting him, and only one trainer has the
courage to calm the massive beast. When Alexander notices the young man's bravery, Gajendra begins a meteoric climb through
the ranks of the Macedonian army, protected by the fierce but devoted Colossus. As captain of the elephants, Gajendra is deeply
loyal to Alexander, the great General who plucked him from obscurity. But as he sees how luxury and power have corrupted his
champion, he faces a terrible choice: Just as Gajendra glimpses the ultimate prize, he realizes that in order to become the
heir to Alexander's throne and gain all he's dreamed of, he must betray everything he loves ... Colossus is an epic tale of
immense evil, pitiless gods and burning cities, of dwarves, priestesses and kings, and of the profound friendship between
animal and master. It is the story of two men--one with boundless ambition, and one who reaches for undreamed-of power, all
set against the warp of history as Alexander's army approaches the gates of Rome."--
